The reworked video engine now fully supports hardware decoding of H.265/HEVC videos. Depending on the game, the Iris Plus 650 will probably be on par with a dedicated GeForce 930M and can handle smooth gameplay in modern titles in low up to medium settings. The fastest chips are high-clocked Core i7 models like the Core i7-7567U.

The system memory (DDR3/DDR4) will influence the performance as well. The exact performance of the Iris Plus Graphics 650 depends on the CPU model, because maximum clock as well as the size of the 元 cache can differ a bit. Besides eDRAM cache, the Iris 650 can also access the system memory (2x 64 Bit DDR3L-1600/DDR4-2400) via processor interface.Ĭompared to the Iris Plus 640 from the 15-Watt models, the Iris 650 only has a slightly higher maximum clock as well as almost twice the TDP, which allows a better utilization of the Turbo Boost potential. The so called GT3e version of the Kaby Lake GPU probably still has 48 Execution Units (EUs), which can reach up to 1100 MHz depending on the model.

There should not be any big changes compared to the Iris Graphics 550. As the successor to the Intel Iris Graphics 550 (Skylake), the Iris Plus Graphics 650 is used for 28-Watt models and is equipped with 64 MB eDRAM cache. The Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 (GT3e) is a processor graphics card for Kaby Lake models announced in January 2017.
